314 On the pressure of overchoice: The adoption of a style also relates to the conquest of
unpredictability in the society As the level of novelty around us rises, we become moreuncertain of the behavior of other individuals, leading to a withdrawal of commitment, a fear
of self-revelation or deep feelings When young people don outlandish costumes, thrift-storegowns and kooky hats, they touch off a subtle fear among the "straights" in society becausethey announce, by their clothing, that their behavior is likely to be unpredictable The strength
of their attachment to their own subculture, at the same time, derives from the fact that withinthe group, unpredictability is reduced They can make better predictions about the behavior oftheir peers and subcult colleagues than about the outside world Adoption of a life style andthe affiliation with a subcult can be seen as efforts to lower the level of novelty orunpredictability in the microenvironment

A Note on Understimulation:
Trang 6The emphasis in this chapter has been on the problems of overstimulation What is striking toanyone who reads through the scientific literature is the similarity of human response to both
high and low stimulation Apparently, when men are pushed either above or below the
adaptive range, they exhibit some of the same symptoms of distress Thus psychologists haverecently completed extensive studies of the men who live in the seven US outposts inAntarctica The most inhospitable environment inhabited by man, Antarctica subjects thesemen to enforced monotony and understimulation The Amundsen-Scott station at the SouthPole is literally isolated from the rest of the world, except for sporadic radio communications,for ten months of the year Temperatures plummet to as low as -100° (F) and the winds thatsweep across the ice sometimes reach velocities of 100 mph In all these outposts smallgroups of men are compelled to live indoors, in extremely close quarters, for protractedperiods Life inside these stations is probably as "changeless" as in any social environment inwhich modern men find themselves
According to E K Eric Gunderson and Paul D Nelson, in the studies noted above, "Underconditions of restricted stimulation and activity for prolonged periods, participants reported
an increase in the incidence and severity of emotional and somatic symptoms, particularly onitems reflecting sleep disturbances, depression, irritability, and anxiety." The men felt leadenand fatigued Some suffered loneliness and depression Many exhibited extremely shorttempers, flaring easily into anger
The chronicles of polar explorers confirm the picture of psychological distress There arerepeated references to "polar ennui" and frequent symptoms of withdrawal and deadly apathy.Admiral Byrd, for example, after five months of total isolation at a remote weather station,suffered a behavior breakdown whose effects lasted for months afterward In his diary, Byrdwrote: "Mornings it's a tough job to drive myself out of the sleeping bag I feel as if I hadbeen drugged But I tell myself, over and over again, that if I give in—if I let this stupor claimme—I may never awake Why bother? Why not let things drift? That is the direction of
everlasting peace So why resist?" (Byrd, R E., Alone, New York: Putnam, 1938.)
Significantly, one of the worst punishments known to man is solitary confinement—asituation in which the individual is not only cut off from the stimulation of social interaction,but deprived of change and novelty of any kind For this reason, it is employed byinterrogators and psychologists to "soften up" prisoners whom they wish to brainwash
It was, in fact, the successful brainwashing of captured American troops by the Red Chineseand North Koreans during the Korean conflict that spurred research into "sensorydeprivation."
The psychologist D O Hebb, a pioneer in this field, found that monotonous sensorystimulation produces confusion—a disruption of the ability to think clearly His associates,Heron, Scott, Bexton and Doane, confirmed that stimuli-deprived subjects had difficultyconcentrating The volunteers reported anxiety, somatic complaints, occasionalhallucinations, and difficulty in judging the passage of time
Myers, a US Navy researcher, summarized a decade of sensory deprivation research: "Mostsubjects find sensory isolation difficult to endure, are tempted to withdrawal, and have littleappetite to repeat the experience Subjects have unusual and compelling reactions Theyexperience severe tedium, restlessness, anxiety, difficulty in mental concentration, blurring ofthe boundaries of sleeping and waking activities and of reality Performance on intellectualtasks tends to decline " In a word, according to Myers, "Sensory deprivation apparentlyincreases the desire for informative stimulation, though not necessarily the desire forrelatively redundant and meaningless stimulation." ("Sensory and Perceptual Deprivation" byThomas I Myers in [32])
Moving out of the laboratory, we find that certain employees in advanced automated plantsfrequently exhibit similar symptoms of understimulation These workers are compelled tospend many hours alone in control booths scanning a variety of dials and screens for signs of
Trang 7equipment breakdown But while there are many signals for them to monitor, the signals are,
by and large, repetitive and predictable Only rarely is there an "abnormal" or novel signal.When novelty is too low, the worker's alertness fades and he increasingly misses or fails toreport abnormalities Boredom sets in, and his very self-confidence evaporates He begins todoubt his own ability to distinguish between normal and abnormal signals (See [6])
There is convincing evidence, moreover, that when deprived of the necessary stimulation wewill take action to create it Like the laboratory monkey who pushes a lever hundreds of timesper hour for no reward other than the opportunity to look out a window, man exhibits a deep-seated hunger for novelty when his environment becomes too changeless He attempts to alterhis surroundings, to create change, thereby bringing the level of stimulation back into the
"adaptive range."
So strong is man's need to stay within the adaptive range that internal mechanisms sometimestake over when the external environment fails to provide the needed excitement Recentscientific research suggests that dreaming is a way of boosting the level of arousal of the brainand body at a time when they are largely cut off from needed external stimuli Somethinganalogous to dreaming seems to occur even in unborn babies Indeed, the "rapid eyemovements" associated with dreaming occur more frequently in young children than inadults, and even more frequently in the foetus
This suggests that within the womb, the least externally stimulating environment of all,internal stimulation keeps the brain, the neutral network and the endocrine systems in action.Later, as the baby develops into an adult, as levels of external stimulation rise, and as theindividual develops greater control over his external environment, dreaming and rapid eyemovements tend to fall off in frequency
To sum up: when the level of environmental stimulation or change falls below a certain point,the individual is forced below his adaptive range, he suffers distinct distress and takes action
to increase the level of stimulation When the level of environmental stimulation forces himabove his adaptive range, he exhibits many of the same symptoms—anxiety, confusion,irritability, and eventual apathy In this situation, as we see in Chapter 17, the individualstrives to reduce stimulation In short, all of us, from before the instant of birth to our verydeathbed, wage a continuing, sometimes desperate, sometimes quite creative struggle to keepthe level of stimulation from pushing us above or below our adaptive range
